| - I think this resort, and it's grounds, has to be the most romantic, sexy, and charming in all of AZ. I luv visiting as many of the resorts here in Scottsdale & Phoenix as much as possible, as all of them have so much to offer to delight all the senses.
From the second you drive up to the lush & palatial grounds, you know you've come to the right place. Any stress or worries disappear immediately. I felt transported 9000 miles away in Europe.
Make sure you slowly walk around and literally smell the flowers. The attention to detail is everywhere, including candles lit on the stairs - Awwwwwww !
The lounge is L-shaped, so it's perfect to find a quiet nook for 2, or join in & meet new people at the welcoming bar, or a sofa.
The martinis were shaken and poured in the most excellent manner - and man, am i seriously picky about ingredients, the mix, the shaking, presentation, and the pour (please have little ice floating, please be ICE cold, frozen tini glass earns extra points!).
Since we had eaten a very late lunch, we seriously wanted to try the nosh items, but only had room for the utterly amazing Chick Peas - I think they were flash fried? But the were so addicting! WOW.
Since they were offering a really good special on a 2000 bottle of Perrier Jouet of Champangne, that topped off the night, while flute in hand, we strolled the gorgeous grounds,
OK, seriously? I am going back before the end of the week. (And strongly hinting we should go all out & book next month before their summer specials end.....)
